    Cheers for the reply I’d seen he is still entered i’n both races but I had heard the horse had a setback and may not be ready any time soon.

    Been following cb for a good time now and totally agre with you grey dolphin.frustrating thing now is he will probably go up a couple of pounds for yesterdays run which will make things tougher again.

    Totally agree about lets get serious thought there was a couple of nice horses in that race.I liked how clerks choice jumped and travelled as well but I think he may been flattered a little bit as he had plenty going for him that day,decent ground does look important to him and it would not suprise me to see looked after for a spring campaign.
    1 to add maybe to your list is made in time who I was very impressed with at stratford on his hurdles debut jumped very nicely decent bumper form last season.

    twist magic is likely to need the run this season,herecomesthetruth does have bits of form to give him a chance and should not be price he is but cant see him winning this myself.
    If somersby is near peak fitness he has to win at these weights.Tchico polis looks a good lay to me probably will trade shorter in running too with his running style.

    220 iceman george  8/1 1/2pt e/w sj bog and with a few others
    ran 2 respectable races over course last season
    recent run on flat should put the edge on fitness and expect novice status was kept back for this season. Should go close i’n a poor event.
    250 fidelis 7/1 1/2pt e/w 365 bog
    Only the one run over fences last year when running creditably,actually think new trip will suit
    likes decent ground,can defiantly win a race of this mark have him clear on my own ratings
    gone well fresh before and think first time out maybe time to catch him.

    Fishers bridge looked to have been ridden to orders and with the trip a doubt it looked to be all about making sure the horse finished his race.I sometimes think this is the difference between the good jockeys and the top jockeys when the pressure is on getting more of thoose decisions right.Davy surely knew what he had under him and kicked on earlier .

    1 winner and one placed selection keeps the profit going for this month.

    Limerick looks a good card today like cornas and sonamix but both to short really.3 selections anyway.

    430ffos rio gael 1/2pt e/w 6/1 boyle sports bog bigger is available in place
    Disappointed that marc aurele has come out the race as opposing him was the first angle into this race.selection has decent form for this level in novice hurdles and handles these conditions well.looks a consistent type who should run his race.

    505ffos treasury counsel 1/2pt e/w 20/1 ladbrokes bog again bigger available in places.
    Taking a big chance here really do like the favourite but far to short for this grade.This horse has 2 ways off running and can easily see him jumping badly and dropping out the back but the step up in trip may help and has bits of form to see him win this easily off this mark.

    435lim 1/2pt e/w paddy pub 10/1 bog ladbrokes 9/1 gen
    have to take dancing tornado on at the prices,The selections to have been aimed for this race and a year wiser than last year than when finishing 4th should see him thereabouts.

    National hunt or flat does that really have anything to do with things like this.I’m all for racing reaching out to the wider market but do get concerned we could see more of this i’n the future.let’s hope not.

    Running late today sorry jumps action really starts today plenty of action for me today.

    325 chep 1 1/2pt win balthazar king 7/2 gen bog
    nicholls horse looks obvious one for this season but the ground is a big worry for me
    and I’m happy to oppose with a race fit horse that handles these conditions well

    400 chep 3/4pt e/w barwell bridge 6/1 gen bog
    olofif far to short yes has scope but selection beat him at chelt off levels,
    escortman looks a bigger danger but connections don’t seem confident really,
    selection has just as much scope to improve a others and think the race
    could be set up for him if they go a decent gallop

    435 chep 1/2pt e/w tin pot man 10/1 gen 11/1 in a couple of places
    thinks looks competitive if I’m honest and i may get caught out taking on
    a couple of chasers with lenient hurdle marks,The 2 I was interested in was winsley hill and tin pot man
    winsley hill is a mare in form and likely to make this a true test from the front but im worried a bit
    the trip being to sharp and for that reason im with the lightly raced tin pot man
    who showed plenty as a novice and looks likely to be suited by this tip

    510 chep 1/2pt e/w mount oscar 16/1 gen bog
    gullible gordon is obviously well fancied and sure go close but just looks far to short
    on what he has shown,mount oscar goes well fresh had some decent form last season and
    i think 3mile on decent surface may just be ok for him so at the prices looks plenty value

    440 bangor 1/2pt e/w michigan disop 14/1 365 bog 16/1 wills
    Think ballydub has a race in him this year but far to short as this may not be
    a stiffer enough test,this race seems to lack strength and even though im
    worried about the class angle here I think at the prices the selection has
    plenty in his favour likes course going ok ground no issues

    Like 1 horse at Exeter i’n the 325 vamizi looked a staying novice chaser with a future when winning over this course and distance last season.dissapointing run down i’n trip up i’n grade the time after but expect to see him back to something like his true form first time out this season(has gone ok fresh before).think the 8/1with paddy power tonight is fair.

    Not sure how the flat guys feel about things,but for me the autumn just starts all the excitement for me. jumps racing starts creeping into action over the next few weeks and surely the recent rain is only going to help things and get some of the nice prospects out. How many days till the festival???
